“Wynter had gradually managed to achieve a measure of coercion and control over her, taking advantage of her natural vulnerability to carry out a series of humiliating assaults.

“In sentencing the court noted that Wynter’s behaviour towards her was grooming, an abuse of position of trust, abusive, manipulative and controlling and that the repeated sexual assaults had a severe psychological effect on her.

Wynter had been found not guilty of a further count of sexual assaults on the same girl and not guilty of ten sexual assaults on another girl.
